From the article: What Does Sex Feel Like?
If you've never had sex with someone else, trying to imagine what it's like can be highly anxiety provoking. Many people who identify themselves as virgins feel that knowing what to expect would help them be less nervous. But describing what sex feels like, particularly in a general way, can be near impossible. If you've had sex with someone before, how would you describe the feel of sex (not the action, not the thoughts, but the feeling). Help a virgin out, and share your thoughts on what sex feels like. Share Your Description
Great!
- Sex is a connection of the body, mind and soul of the people invloved. When we engage in sexual activity it can take the form of a conversation, or a physcial touch. We come together as seperate people and complete as a single unit. It does not matter if it is a brief encounter or one that lasts several days. Sex involves people not men or women. Sex is as much a part of humanity as legs and arms. We do not exist without it, and life loses it meaning when it is not practiced.

Just don't be stupid.
- If your worried about STD'S then. "don't be silly and protect your willy. I'm not going to lie. I'm 15 and have never had sex. But I know a condom don't feel as good. But take the advice. I mean I'm the pull out method and look where that got my parents. :)

Going All the Way
- When I first had sex, I was really shy and then my guy made me feel so much better. He was really sweet. It did hurt a bit at first but then it felt real good.

it feels good...
- I waited a really long time to lose my virginity- like in my mid-twenties long. Not because I was so prudish, I'm not-but because I wanted to make sure I would be safe-financially, emotionally, and everything. I did not lose it to a love of my life-like I had long planned, but someone who loved me and I respected. It hurt a little, but I told him it was my first time-he was so sweet! I didn't come-but I was so nervous...it was ok. I saved that for next time!

Gross But Nice
- The first time it's kinda hard because you have to work it you know? But then it's omygod! Very awesome feeling. Have sex with people you like, it's always better . Its warm and slidey in there and may feel gross but nice at the same time!

Like Having an Exam
- Now that I am post-menopausal, I really don't feel much other than the awareness of being touched. There is no sexuality, or tingling, or excitement. It is kinda like having an exam. I do sort of remember what it is supposed to feel like, but not really. This was probably not much help, was it?

A workout, a struggle, a connection
- Sex is physical and can really awaken body awareness. Ever try snuggling with someone and have trouble figuring out where all the arms go? There's some of that in sex too, plus lots of sweat and other bodily fluids. If you're uncomfortable with your body, you may be uncomfortable during sex--or sex could help you feel better about your body than you ever have. Sex is vulnerable. You need to express what you want, which means maybe being disappointed. You're at least partly naked, and giving someone else access to your body. You're maybe worried about pregnancy or STDs. It's scary! But when someone else respects your vulnerability and proves to be trustworthy, it's utterly thrilling. Sex lets you connect. The other person is probably feeling just as vulnerable, opening up to you and hoping you'll be kind. It feels so good to be that good to someone else, and mutual kindness and pleasure can build a tremendous connection even if you're "just friends."
